Planning a Kitchen Remodel

By

If you've been following this blog, you probably know that I've taken steps to update the look of my home's kitchen. I've repainted most of the oak cabinets white. (I just have a few more to paint.) I've purchased some new cabinet hardware to install. I've made small changes like organizing drawers and installing inexpensive tile under the kitchen sink. I'd love to change out the flooring and the counter, too. A good blogging friend of mine is doing a complete kitchen remodel -- I have to admit I'm a bit jealous! If you are considering a DIY kitchen remodel or if you are thinking of having Continue reading...

Living Room Gallery Wall — Pinterest Challenge Blog Hop

By

  Welcome to the March Pinterest Challenge Blog Hop, hosted by My Pinterventures. The purpose of this Pinterest Challenge is to motivate all the participants of this hop (and you, too) to not just pin, but to make it happen! So this month,  I chose to update my living room gallery wall. A few years ago I created a simple living room gallery wall. I used Command strips and hooks to hang the items on my gallery wall. The Command products are easy to hang and also make it easy to swap out the items on my living room gallery wall as inspiration hits. I've pinned many living Continue reading...

Spring Living Room Update on a Budget

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #GladeFineFragranceMist #CollectiveBias My living room is the first space guests see when entering my home. I like to have it at its best at all times. I recently decided to give my living room an inexpensive update for the new year. I’ve found several simple ways to freshen up the space without spending a lot of money. One way I create a new look is by updating the throw pillows on the sofa. I regularly sew easy budget envelope pillow covers for my sofa’s pillows. These throw Continue reading...

Now that spring is almost here, I thought I'd share a past project here on Mom Home Guide that is a great way to update your space for spring -- easy envelope pillow covers. With minimal sewing skills and just a little cash, you can update the throw pillows in your living room family room. This post contains Amazon affiliate links. I got my new living room sofa a few years ago (before then, the room was nearly a blank room), and since then, I love dressing it up! With spring around the corner, I just had to make new spring envelope pillow covers for my sofa's throw pillows! The above Continue reading...

If you've visited this blog before, you might know that my family has adopted a puppy! Our pup, whom we've named Mochi, is an adorable approximately 4-month-old male Shih Tzu.

Easy Projects to Organize Your Home

By

This post contains affiliate links. Now that the new year is into full swing, I thought I'd review some of the organizing projects I've completed in my house. It's been a few months since I've organized many of the places I use for storage in my home, so I thought I'd think about the organizing I've done so far and see what I can do to add more storage and reorganize any messes that might have popped up since my original projects. Now that I'm reviewing some of my previous projects, it gets me thinking that I'd love to organize my master bedroom closet with a beautiful closet organization Continue reading...

Easy Attic Flooring with Attic Dek

This post was sponsored by Attic Dek, who provided me with Attic Dek flooring in exchange for my review. This post contains Amazon affiliate links. If you click on an Amazon link and make a purchase, it doesn't cost you anything, but I earn a small commission that helps me to run this blog. Thanks! Ever since my husband and I moved into our new home about 15 years ago, I've wanted to put flooring in our home's attic.

How to Host a Fun Girls Movie Night

This post is intended for an audience of adults age 21 and older. This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and Bacardi. All opinions are mine alone. #SignatureSips #CollectiveBias If you are like me, you’ve gone to a few movies in 2017. But you probably missed the “mom” or “chick” flicks you wanted to see. That’s because you most likely saw the latest action/sci-fi or animated movies with your husband and kids. I think it would be fun to get together with a few friends and watch some of the 2017 movies that moms loved last year. During the party, my husband can take the Continue reading...

Wood Slice Valentine’s Day Tokens

By

This post contains Amazon affiliate links. TGIF, everyone! I am so happy that the weekend is nearly here! This week has been quite a busy one, so I thought I'd share a mini project I completed this week! Earlier this week I shared my tutorial for my Scrappy Valentine's Day Wreath. The wreath was really quite thrifty since I repurposed leftover craft materials from Christmas. It doesn't always work out when I create a craft project out of supplies I already have on hand, so I'm excited about how my wreath turned out! I  even used a bow from a gift basket my family received on this Continue reading...

The purpose of this Pinterest Challenge is to motivate all the participants of this hop (and you too) to not just pin, but to make it happen!

Chalk Painted Jewelry Chest

I am a Decorart blogger and received free product for the completion of this project. All opinions expressed in this post are 100% my own. As I plan out my projects for 2018, I thought I'd take the time to share one of my favorite past projects -- my chalk painted jewelry armoire. The jewelry chest belonged to my grandmother, and now that it has been repainted, it holds a place of honor in my home's upstairs hallway. Updating Furniture with Chalk Paint I never thought I'd refinish furniture -- I am more of an artsy craftsy person. But after using Americana Decor® Chalky Continue reading...

Lace and Ivy Boho Christmas Wreath

Thanks to UglyChristmasSweater.com for providing the sweater for the ugly Christmas sweater giveaway. Welcome to the 12 Months of Wreaths blog hop! Today my blogging friends and I will each be sharing a DIY homemade wreath for the holiday season. Since the holiday season can be so rushed and busy, I decided to simplify things for my own wreath. I went with a simple natural/bohemian look that I crafted with just a few things from my local dollar store. For my wreath, I combined the idea of a traditional ivy/grapevine wreath with a dreamcatcher look to create a calm, simple wreath for the Continue reading...

Fall Decorating Ideas

Happy Monday, everyone! I love fall decorating. So far this season, I've decorated my living room console table for fall, and have made a DIY fall welcome sign for my home's front porch. I'd love to do some more fall decorating. But before I do, I thought it would be fun to share some of the ways I've decorated my home for fall this year and previous years. My DIY fall welcome sign is my most recent fall decorating project. I made the sign with some wood, chalk paint and crafting supplies I already had on hand. In all, this decor project only took me about an hour! Last year I Continue reading...
